Album Notes

Personnel: Larry Willis (piano); John Stubblefield (soprano & tenor saxophones); Tom Williams (trumpet); Curtis Fuller (trombone); David Williams (bass); Ben Riley (drums).Recorded at Clinton Recording, Brooklyn, New York on July 13 & 14, 1993. Includes liner notes by Bill Kohlhaase.Personnel: Larry Willis (piano); John Stubblefield (soprano saxophone, tenor saxophone); Tom Williams (trumpet); Curtis Fuller (trombone); Ben Riley (drums).Liner Note Author: Bill Kohlhaase.Recording information: Clinton Recording, New York, NY (07/13/1993/07/14/1993).Photographer: Francis Wolff.Larry Willis has never achieved the acclaim that he deserves, but these rewarding 1993 studio sessions for Audioquest, which serve as a tribute to his old friend Herbie Hancock, represent some of his best work as a leader. Willis is clearly his own man, as he makes no attempt to mimic Hancock's keyboard style. Joined by trombonist Curtis Fuller (who is in superb form) and saxophonist John Stubblefield, along with a rhythm section anchored by drummer Ben Riley, Willis avoids the predictable paths. Especially rewarding is his unusual treatment of Hancock's well-known "Maiden Voyage," speeding up its loping tempo and taking a more angular approach with a Latin flavor in his exciting arrangement, though it is unfortunately faded out. "Wayman's Way" was inspired by Hancock's "Like a Hurricane," though one has to pay close attention to catch the relationship between the two pieces. The leader's lovely ballad "Sensei" (Japanese for "teacher") is a trio feature, while his "Teasdale Place" is a fun and funky closer, complete with teasing brief references to Hancock's "Watermelon Man." Beautifully recorded, this release was issued both by the label on CD and as a premium HQ 180-gram super vinyl LP, though the latter edition omits Willis' "For Jean." ~ Ken Dryden
